UK probes whether COVID-19 vaccine caused allergic reactions
The medical regulator also said vaccinations should be carried out only in facilities that have resuscitation equipment. Such advice isn't uncommon; several vaccines already on the market carry warnings about allergic reactions, and doctors know to watch for them when people whoโve had reactions to drugs or vaccines in the past are given new products. One has to remember that even things like Marmite can cause unexpected severe allergic reactions,โ he said, referring to the food spread that is made from brewerโs yeast. Detailed data from the vaccine's trials showed potential allergic reactions in 0.63% of those who received the vaccine, compared with 0.51% of those who received the placebo. The agency is monitoring the vaccine rollout closely and โwill now investigate these cases in more detail to understand if the allergic reactions were linked to the vaccine or were incidental,โ Powis said.
